Progress - Living Room

I've shown you the progress of our master bath and main bath but nothing else. This is not because I'm a slacker at having progress, it is because I'm a slacker at assembling posts.
Apparently on June 24 when I had before pictures of everything, I never got one of the family room. I only have the one with the sliding glass door.
July 2: Our stuff arrives and I took a few pictures on my iPhone as the room got more full and more full.  It got too full. Notice the couch has the last foot of it blocked by the chair.  The mover tried to tell us this couch should go into storage and the red one should come in the room. I think this is a foot or 2 longer than the red one. It's also 3 inches deeper. Dave likes that he can actually fit on this one to lie down so we were keeping this one.
July 4: I had trouble telling what room some of the pictures were of.  We did make a little progress. I mean we made enough progress to sit.  Don't these pictures just make you want to move and downsize?
July 5: We decided even though other rooms were a priority we had to get stuff into the TV stand to get rid of the boxes and make more room.  So we set up the TV.  Then we watched TV. Then we thought that it was a bad idea to set up the TV  because now we could just be lazy when doing everything else. The hinges to the right door got messed up but we just removed the door and figured we'd fix the door later after all the big stuff was done.
July 7: The family room was still a mess.
July 11: I went quite a few days without taking any pictures of the room. I did take out the old computers from boxes to get them ready to donate. Poly helped
July13: I unwrapped the fucus. Poly helped again.
July 15: We moved the bookshelf out of the way.
July 17: I neatened up all the unpacked boxes ready to sell and sold them but to get them in and out the Living Room got even messier. The room was unpacked enough for Poly though.
July19: I discovered having the TV on and then working and having it not feel so much like work so the Living Room got a little bit better. It's still bad though.
July 20: The progress changed to junk everywhere instead of boxes everywhere. Yes that is a lamp on the floor. We have an outlet there that the light switch works so we wanted something there to use it but it will not permanently be there.
July 22: We moved the TV box. Granted we only moved it to the dining room. We still had to get it to storage. We are the slowest at unpacking aren't we?
July 25: I moved the bookshelf from the hall that shouldn't have been there to the Living Room and put some cook books on it. I also cleaned off the ottoman and most of the junk around the floor.
July 26: I cleaned up even more.
July 27: I hung a picture.
July 29: We hung the main picture.
At some point we swapped lamps in the corner. I never got a picture of it when that happened.  I also didn't seem to capture when we hung up the clock.

Well there you have it. A month of evolution of the family room.

I guess the post didn't happen because of not having progress but I was also lazy about posting, too.

  1. Unpacking is always an ordeal and best done over several nights. Looks like you get alot of great natural light in all of the main rooms, awesome for all of the great California sunshine!

    1. There is a lot of natural light. It is good. It's a lot smaller than before which isn't cool. We have 1 couch and 1 ottoman just chilling in storage.
